Jefferson County needs Paul Gandy, and will be lucky to have him on your Board of Supervisors' team. Paul and I have weathered a few storms together. He’s right there no matter what. Treating others with respect and bringing out their best. The sign of a true leader. Paul helped write our state Democratic Party Platform, and was one of my co-Vice Chairs for our Iowa Delegation to the Democratic National Convention. Passions ran high, but he navigated what was often a highly-charged atmosphere with genuine thoughtfulness, kindness, and consideration. Believe me, as a physician, health care executive, and mother of seven—I understand this is no easy task. He’s a unifying force. Always listening to all sides. Making sure people are heard. He’ll bring that same level-headedness and fairness to get the job done (and done well) for everyone in Jefferson County too. ~ Dr. Andy McGuire Iowa Democratic Party Chair

Paul Gandy and I both had the honor of serving as National Delegates in the 'First-in-the-Nation’ Iowa Delegation at the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia this summer. Paul was a wonderful ambassador for our great state. We’ve also been invited and featured guest speakers at a couple recent events together. The energy he brought home from the convention and now to the election, coupled with his enthusiasm for public service is refreshing.

I’ve always believed the role of government at all levels is to help stand up for others. As an attorney and small business owner practicing consumer protection law, Paul has assisted people from all walks of life in times of financial distress. He understands the impact that government policies and budgets have on families and communities. As Democrats, and more importantly as Americans, we’re called to ensure opportunity and sustain hope for everyone. Paul Gandy will do just that. He’ll work hard for Jefferson County, play well in the sandbox with others, and walk the walk for everyone as County Supervisor. ~ Dave Loebsack Iowa - 2nd District U.S. Congressman

I’ve known Paul for several years. He’s earned both my respect and support. His hard work, organizational skills, dedication, and fair-mindedness make him an excellent choice for the Jefferson County Board of Supervisors team. He will be an effective administrator and strong advocate for everyone in Jefferson County. Paul will make an outstanding Supervisor and I’m proud to support him. ~ Curt Hanson Iowa House Representative District 82

Paul Gandy is a solid choice for Jefferson County Supervisor. As a social worker of over 30 years, former state senator, and now county supervisor—it’s been an honor to serve our community. It was a tough decision not to run for re-election to the board, but I’m reassured by Paul’s candidacy that he will indeed have all of Jefferson County’s best interest at heart. His life’s work as a consumer protection attorney has prepared him for what I believe is the most important skill of a county supervisor—the ability to listen to all sides. I’m committed to working closely with Paul after the election on continuing to make mental health and disability services a priority for everyone in our area. Paul is truly a ‘people’s attorney’ and will be a great ‘people’s supervisor’. ~ Becky Schmitz Jefferson County Supervisor Former State Senator

I’ve been a county supervisor for 20 years, a union representative for 23, and a social worker for 20. I know the ups and downs of a lifetime in public service. I know what it takes, and the kind of temperament, commitment, and dedication to represent everyone fairly. I recognize those qualities in Paul Gandy. I’m confident that Paul is up for the job. He’ll listen to the people of Jefferson County and work hard to ensure a better quality life for everyone living there no matter their political affiliation or background. He’s committed to better roads, economic development, public health, safety, and the well-being of all Jefferson County residents. Paul Gandy will make a fine Jefferson County Supervisor. ~ Steve Siegel Wapello County Supervisor AFSCME Council 61, Retired
